Me

I'm a daughter, sister, wife, and mother, in that order. My parents had four children. My brother Scott was their first, then 12 months and 12 days later I followed. Two and a half years later, we had a sister, Lynn, who was in turn followed seven years later by another sister, Leila, who completed the pack.
We grew up in Wisconsin in a small city on the shores of Lake Michigan. I attended college in Minneapolis and received my BA in Fine Art from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
More importantly, at the college is where I met Kurt,a Minnesotan from a small farming community, who would come to be my partner in life. We have been, and are still married for many years.
Together we've made it to our middle ages and have happily created four wonders of nature of our own, two boys and two girls, Adam, Buck, Anne Marie and Katherine. They are the light in my life. We live in Minnesota not far from where my husband and I met.

The last days of the school year have been a flurry of events. Ani had two violin performances to attend this past week and another recital this afternoon. Katie had a class potluck. Buck has an award ceremony tomorrow night. Adam has a graduation Monday and Buck's is next Wednesday, somewhere in there I have to fit in my work schedule. The house needs a thorough cleaning and I can't seem to rally the residents of the house to this cause. There is plenty to do outside of the house as well. Due to all the cold and wet weather, I haven't been too inspired in the weeding and planting department either. Now you might be thinking that with all these goings on that I wouldn't be getting much knitting done. You'd be thinking wrong. The more that is going on the more I need to knit, knitting centers me. I have been mainly knitting on Caren's sweater. I am nearly to the point where I will join the shoulders and then (take a deep breath) cut open the steeks to start the sleeves. I would very much to be done with this sweater. I have been looking through knitting books again, I'm itchin' to start something new. But for now I'm being good and working on finishing works in progress. I worked a bit on the Monk's Travel Satchel, I still haven't decided what, if anything I want to put on the outside back pocket, so that project is in limbo for a while. I think I'll pull out my lace sock and work a bit on that for my take along projects, that and I have another washcloth to make.We went to see a play last week at the Guthrie Theatre. We saw "She Loves Me". We, that is my husband, our daughter, Ani and I, really enjoyed the show. There is a dance scene in a restaurant that turns into an all out brawl. The performance was just awesome, you really have to see it. Thank you, Madame, please call again, do, call again, Madame.
